Tracking FAQ

Answers to most commonly asked questions about FedEx tracking.

ShowGeneral Tracking Questions

I'm expecting a shipment, when will it arrive?

Track the status of your shipment on fedex.com using your tracking number and look for the estimated delivery date. We are unable to specify an exact delivery time. Typically deliveries occur during normal business hours and depends on the service selected. If you do not have your tracking number, contact the shipper to obtain the tracking number. Customer service may be able to find your shipment information if you are unable to get your tracking number from the shipper.

When I first tracked the shipment, it had an estimated delivery date, and now there isn't one. What does this mean?

We are able to provide the estimated delivery date information for many of our shipments. But when the shipment encounters a delay or an exception in handling, we may not be able to accurately state when we expect the shipment to be delivered. Also if the package had not been delivered by the commitment date/time, then that info would be removed from the display.

How do I determine the delivery address of my shipment?

If you have the tracking number, you can access delivery city information and signature information if a signature was obtained. If you need the detailed delivery information (includes address), you can obtain a Signature Proof of Delivery online by using your tracking number and the shipper's or payer’s account number.Please note currently this feature is not available for APAC inbound and intra-Asia shipments.

My package was supposed to be here, but it has not arrived. What can I do?

A good first step is to track the status of your package using your FedEx tracking number. The tracking number enables us to provide you with your package's most up-to-date tracking information. If the tracking results do not answer your question, your next step can be to contact FedEx for further assistance.

If you do not have your tracking number, contact the shipper to obtain the tracking number. Customer service may be able to find your shipment information if you are unable to get your tracking number from the shipper. Contact us at Customer Service www.fedex.com/id/contact

I tracked my shipment, and there haven't been updates on it in more than a day. What should I do?

Shipments in the FedEx system receive updates at various points between pickup and delivery. It is not unusual for a shipment to go more than 24 hours without an update while in transit. For additional tracking information, Please call Customer Service www.fedex.com/id/contact

I tracked my shipment, and it appears there is a customs or clearance delay. What should I do?

Customs and clearance delays occur for a variety of reasons.Clearance delay information is available from the detailed tracking page, in general this would include the reason for the delay and recommended action. If additional information is required from the shipper or recipient, FedEx will attempt to contact them.

I tracked my shipment, and there are no scans. What should I do?

If there are no scans for the tracking number entered, contact your shipper to verify the tracking number is correct. If you are the shipper, and it has been more than 24 hours since you dropped off the shipment or had the shipment picked up, please call our Customer Service team www.fedex.com/id/contact

I requested an update on the recipient’s mailing address by calling the CS hotline, and now I see the delivered address on the fedex.com tracking page is the old one instead of the one I requested. Is it possible to revise it to show the actual delivered location?

The address change request is handled outside of tracking application , therefore the original destination address is still displayed. We recommend you contact FedEx Customer Service to request a Written Proof of Delivery (WPOD) in order to get the actual location the shipment was delivered to.Please note: WPOD is not available in every APAC market.

I requested an email notification, but cannot receive it in my mailbox. What should I do?

It is possible the email was filtered as junk/spam email and moved to your junk folder orblocked by your email service provider. If you have tried the approach above and still encounter the same problem, please call our Customer Service team www.fedex.com/id/contact

Can I input Asian language characters in the personal message field when requesting email notification?

How come the "Hold At FedEx Location " button is greyed out on the tracking result page?

It is due to the unavailability of the "Hold At FedEx Location" service in your destination country/territory.This service is only available for FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery inbound U.S. and intra-U.S. shipments. The button will be enabled when the service is available.

Why is the total shipment weight displayed on the tracking page different to the weight charged on the bill?
